For Consultants

Support every recommendation with more than just your own history.

Every client wants to manage costs using their own template, and every new estimate is created from scratch by hand instead of being based on projects your firm has already completed.

The answer

Here's exactly what bridges that gap.

Reusable delivery

PROBIS makes completed projects reusable: a single cost-control standard across every engagement, estimates and client reports based on your own project history, and multi-client by design with role-based access.

AI drafting

AI generates the next estimate and the next client report based on your completed projects.

Where It Breaks Today

When a recommendation lacks sufficient evidence.

Every client wants to control costs using their own template, and every new estimate is created manually.

The small sample
A handful

A recommendation is only as credible as the handful of comparable projects your firm has personally worked on.

The manual benchmark
Rebuilt by hand

Building a defensible cost comparison today means rebuilding it, project by project, from scratch.

The reformatting tax
New template

Every client engagement involves reformatting the same analysis into a new presentation, a new template, and a new tone.

The one-time deliverable
From zero

Every project starts with a blank template, even when the underlying analysis is nearly the same.
